Metalsmithing courses

[roundwheel8]

Hi, does anyone know about some short (around 2-6 month) long metalsmithing courses? Open to travelling abroad too. Looking to learn/ improve on things like fabrication, soldering, understanding how gold and silver behave and how to manipulate them. Thanks

Hello roundwheel8,

Welcome to our group.

I just looked up Google (I suppose you may have too) and found an online jewelry site -
www.skillshare.com where you can learn and share many online metalsmith techniques.
I am considering signing up too, because there are still many things I could learn too.

Hope this helps.

Have you tried art schools in your area?

I googled "silversmithing course art school" and got some hits that look promising.
Here's just one of the links workingtheflame.com/silversmithing-classes/

Susan Lenart Kazmer runs an online class called "Intentional Metalsmithing". I have taken classes from her in person and think she is a good teacher. I signed up for this class but haven't had time to take it (you get lifetime access). Here is a link to the sales page.

Well, I'm glad you asked that question as I am also interested in taking metal smithing classes and have not been able to find any in my area. Going to check out the links that have been posted. Thanks everyone!
